Profile:
One of the most courageous opening batsmen in Indian cricket, Chetan
Chauhan will be chiefly remembered as Sunil Gavaskar's partner in
numerous Tests in the 70s and early 80s. The pair is the most
successful Indian opening pair with ten century partnerships. Chauhan
had technical limitations and his strokeplay was not exactly
fluent. But no one could question his courage, his defence and his
ability to get behind the line of the ball. He was always a difficult
batsman to dislodge and his patience and dogged qualities stood India
in very good stead in 40 Tests in the period 1969 to 1981. He made his
debut as a 22-year-old against New Zealand at Mumbai and also played
against Australia the same season. He was recalled for two Tests
against England in 1972-73 but his most prolific period began when he
was chosen for the tour of Australia in 1977-78.
The crowning glory of the Gavaskar-Chauhan partnership came at the
Oval in 1979 when the two put on 213 runs, breaking the famous long
standing record of Merchant and Mushtaq Ali who put on 203 runs at Old
Trafford in 1936. Chauhan's share was 80. He was unlucky not to get a
Test hundred, though his aggregate in Tests exceeded 2000 runs. He is
the only player in Test history to aggregate over 2000 runs without
getting a hundred. He was a heavy run getter in domestic cricket and
represented Maharashtra and Delhi in the Ranji Trophy
competition. After retiring from the game, Chauhan became a selector
from North Zone and was elected to Parliament on a BJP ticket. (Partab Ramchand)
